I was just wondering...and perhaps some of you are too...but, here goes...

we all posted more with the old format..at the old board...
and now we barely talk to each other any more...
maybe we all suddenly have real life issues that we must deal with?
or maybe we have ALL suddenly lost interest in Aliens?
or maybe there is no more to be said about this?

Well..come on what are all of your thoughts on the issue?
or are we just waiting for Avp to really happen and to wake us up?
Gee, that sort of makes us lazy doesn't it?

Why are we not generating topics for discussion?
I miss you guys...
Oh dear god I expressed emotion....a horrid thing to do around all of you tough sons-of- bitches....all of you bad asses......
lollloloo
Well, even if this doesn't generate any discussion I at least....got to exercise my fingers......

I'm relatively new to this message board thing, but I do post in a 1/6 scale WWII board, and yes, things are a lot livelier over there.

I think the are two main reasons for the alien boards being a little slow.
1. The subject matter: nothing new is happening. There are no new movies, there are no t.v. series, there aren't a lot of toys, and merchandise is practically nonexistant compared to other fan communities.
Take a look at Star Wars, there's always something new happening, the SW universe is huge in movies, games, comics, books and it started out when most of us were kids, so there's that nostalgia thing as well. Let's not even talk about Star Trek...
2. Other than talking about movies and theories, "Alien" does not seem to have attracted a community that shares stuff. If you look at 1/6 scale boards, they're full of people who do stuff with their hobby. They re-paint their soldiers, vehicles, scratch build stuff (even tanks), sculpt new heads so they don't have armies of clones... (and believe me, they do have armies).
I realize there are a lot of talented people who sculpt "Alien" stuff, but those guys are more modellers than Alien fans.

So "Alien" really doesn't have something to thrive on. There's AvP (the game), but I guess people who are into it have their own boards.
But that's o.k., we'll still keep coming back to post and see what has been posted. Maybe it'll be a bit slow, but I think this board and its subject matter still have a lot of life left in it.

as a community, we've uncovered alot of the alien movies, such as missing scenes, scripts, lost footage in all of the movies (except for alien:ressurection) and so, there really isnt much left to talk about...
heheh.. i miss the screaming and excitement of the old board when noone
even thought of quizzing people on some obscure points of the saga... but oh well. when alien 5 comes out for real, u know its gonna ramp up again._________________I say we take off, and nuke the entire site from
orbit. Its the only way to be sure. Right Dr. Evil?

ay yep....this forum is not a s user friendly as the old one....you just can't see at a glance who is posting any more...it is kinda slow...it is pretty to look at and some of the playing around with it features are nice..
but Yoj is right we ahve talked it all out...
I challenge any one to try to find something that hasn't already been discussed......_________________".....you' ll find that I am not the man (or woman) with whom to fuck..."

Hi Jet,
How are you ?
am fine and your self?
Great, great...
so why isn't there or maybe there is a world of miniature enthusists that recreate the Alien Universe?
NOt enough of a universe? perhaps, too narrow of a focus...and the focus was well........alien....
so where the hell is the universe located at?
who leaves there?
where did the fucking Alien come from.
why is it so pissed.
out of it's element
bio weapon..or things just act fruity when they are by them selves..sort of like I am right now.....

too much work from work.because someone didn't do their fucking job and I get to pick up the slcak......ok.enough bitching.....so I ws just taking a break from writing the nine parent teacher conferences up and the nine one month assessments and the nine six month assessement that the departing teacher said were done......and the weren't and i get to finish them all up by?????? two by Wednesday morning and the other seven by the next Wednesday......oh wow....I need a longer break.....
and I just got a 10,000 dollar a year raise........can someone say......
work aholic?
hehehehe

anyways...so all this has been decided? then why aren't we playing with our landscapes and toys?
why are we the only ones.....?_________________".....you' ll find that I am not the man (or woman) with whom to fuck..."

I hardly post here at all anymore, mainly becaurse the board has changed. the other one was alot less profeshonal, witch was what drew me to it. this one is alittle more confusing, and i just don't feel like putting up the effort to reply. i know thats not verry nice, but what i've got to say has been said before... i still come in here too keep updated about things, I just don't post as mutch...
